MAIK Provides Additional Allocation Of RM2 Million To YIK This Year
The Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Tan Sri Mohamad Rizam Tengku Abdul Aziz, who is MAIK president, said the additional allocation was provided in response to financial constraints faced by YIK, amid economic uncertainty and rising inflation affecting its ability to deliver quality services to students.
He said MAIK had allocated RM2.5 million to YIK, covering, among other things, teachers' emoluments and related activities.
'MAIK has agreed to increase the financial allocation to YIK by another RM2 million, bringing the total assistance to RM4.5 million for this year,' he said at an event with YIK Maahad Tahfiz students here today.
He said the additional financial assistance was to cover food and beverage expenses at Maahad Tahfiz YIK and Maahad Sains Tok Guru.
A total of RM29 million in aid allocations have been channelled to YIK since 2014, he said, adding that MAIK also allocated funds for building repairs and the purchase of furniture for schools and hostels, with over RM18 million spent for the purpose since 2016.
At the event, MAIK received contribution in the form of 'zakat wakalah' from Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad, to be channelled to eligible and needy YIK students.
In another development, Tengku Mohamad Rizam said MAIK would channel appropriate assistance to victims involved in the fire in Kampung Kijang two days ago.
A total of 31 victims from eight families were made homeless after eight houses were destroyed in the fire.

Trump Urges Senate To Cancel August Recess To Speed Up Nominee Confirmations
ISTANBUL, July 20 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Saturday to cancel the Senate's traditional August recess, asking lawmakers to expedite confirmations of his executive and judicial nominees, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. 'Hopefully, the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. bootstrap slideshow The Senate is currently slated to confirm six Trump nominees on Monday and advance his candidate to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency. The nominations include Emil Bove, a Justice Department lawyer nominated to a federal appeals court judgeship, and Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host, nominated for US attorney for the District of Columbia. Bove faces opposition from Democrats following a whistleblower complaint alleging he advised the Justice Department to defy court orders on migrant deportations, a claim he denies. Additionally, Trump's recent nominees for the National Labour Relations Board aim to restore a quorum to the panel, which has been nonfunctional since January after Trump dismissed its Democratic member. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU

MADANI Mind Transformation Workshop Trains Participants As Elements Of Community Change
KUCHING, July 20 (Bernama) -- Participants of the MADANI Mind Transformation workshop in Petra Jaya have been urged to be elements of change in their respective communities, by living and practising the spirit of MADANI Malaysia in their daily lives. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said Sarawak should be the best example of a united, progressive and competitive MADANI society. 'As we know, the MADANI Malaysia concept introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is an integrated and holistic effort to make all policies and implementations in Malaysia more humane, which is constantly improved through deliberation and feedback from the people. 'In this MADANI Malaysia concept, its implementation is based on strong unity and emphasises justice that should be felt by every diverse racial entity or ethnic group in this country,' he was speaking at the closing ceremony of the workshop here, today. The text of his speech was read by the Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier's Department (Law, MA63 and State-Federal Relations) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali. Fadillah, who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, said in the context of Sarawak, the collective approach becomes more significant because cultural and ethnic diversity is the main strength of the state. 'Every race, whether Malay, Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Chinese, Indians and others need to join hands as 'Team Sarawak' to realise MADANI's aspirations. "We need to remember that this mind transformation is not just a government programme, but a social movement that needs to be embraced and practised in daily life. Start with small steps at home in educating children, interacting with neighbours and contributing to the local community," he said. The three-day Mind Transformation Workshop since Friday, involved 54 participants from the Tupong, Samariang and Satok state constituencies.
